    Have you ever wondered how celebrities manage to appear so radiant? Or how they exude an indescribable extra something that makes them magnetic? In this article I will share six easy ways to help you cultivate your own charismatic style and presentation by following simple yet timeless fashion tips.1. zara clothingInterview friends, family or colleagues who will give you an honest opinion or engage an image consultant to determine what colors & styles best suit you and are in harmony with your natural features like your skin tone, eye and hair color.2. Colors– A way to test if your colors are harmonious is to look into a mirror in natural daylight while holding a piece of clothing/fabric next to your eyes or directly underneath your chin. Notice which stands out more – the color or your features.Colors that are “right” put the focus on you and not the garment. zara usaFor example if you have ocean blue eyes, wearing the same or complimentary blue color will make your eyes stand out and people may comment about how well you look.A color that is “wrong” often makes you look dull, drains your energy, can be repulsive to you or may even cast a slight shadow on your face. If you are wearing colors that aren’t good for you, people may remark that you look tired or ill even if you feel fine.If this color testing seems foreign, don’t worry. With practice you will begin to experience the subtlety of how colors can influence your mood and instantly make you look and feel more attractive.3. Prints should be in proportion to your feature size based on your body’s natural geometry.zara usa For example if you have small to medium size features, you should wear small to medium size patterns and jewelry.4. Shapes – The shape of your face and your features should determine the shapes of your accessories and print designs. If you have an oval face, you can wear oval earrings, necklines, belt buckles and eyeglasses. Most of us are a variety of shapes so we are able to combine them. For example you may have oval eyes, a teardrop nose and a square chin. Again, it is helpful to look into a mirror or at a recent photograph of yourself to objectively determine which shapes you inherently possess.5. zara clothingLayering can make you more prepared for social situations. For example, you will rarely be disrespected for being slightly overdressed. When you wear layers, you can always take off a jacket, tie, scarf or jewelry to occur less formal.Before an important meeting ask questions in advance about clothing guidelines. If you are doing a sales presentation or public speaking, dress “a cut above” what your audience is expected to wear. For example if the dress code is casual, go smart or business casual.Again, you can always roll up your sleeves to appear more relaxed. But if are male and show up to a meeting with short sleeves and no jacket and all other men are dressed in collared shirts with long sleeves, you will be at a disadvantage before you even open your mouth.
